    We celebrated our wedding anniversary with a trip to Manchester and dinner at the Copper Grouse. We were very happy with our decision to dine here. Olivia was our waitress and was very attentive. She brought us two complimentary glasses of champagne as a nice surprise. Food was delicious and service was wonderful.

    Delicious food and hospitality! My server suggested several great options, including rhe tomato gazpacho soup, the tartine, and the Cod. The chef obviously sourced fresh, seasonal ingredients and they were all prepared wall with an attractive presentation. Service was friendly and attentive.

    I always struggle when reservations are limited and I walk in and there is not one person at the bar or bar area. No bar reservations were available at 5:15 pm. Sat on the patio. Great setting and enjoyed our time there.

    A Culinary Gem in Manchester We’ve been coming up to Manchester for years, watching the local dining scene evolve with each visit. But this latest chapter—under the guidance of Chef Houlbert—is, without question, the most exciting and rewarding yet. Chef Houlbert brings a rare combination of classical French training and Vermont’s laid-back spirit, resulting in dishes that are both refined and deeply satisfying. His respect for the best of Vermont’s seasonal ingredients shines through in every plate. You can taste the precision of his technique—meticulous, restrained, and thoughtful—while still feeling the easygoing charm of the Green Mountains. While the menu’s staples are reliably excellent, it’s the specials, particularly the seafood, where Chef Houlbert’s creativity and skill truly dazzle. Each dish feels like a fresh discovery, executed with richness and balance, and always leaving you eager for the next bite. And if you’re lucky enough to visit for brunch, don’t miss the duck-fried potatoes. Somehow fluffy and crisp at once, they’re indulgent in all the right ways—comforting yet elevated. With one bite, you might feel as if you’ve stumbled into a hidden corner of Paris. The wine list and cocktail program are as thoughtfully curated as the food—well-balanced, intriguing, and perfectly matched to the menu. Add to this a staff that is consistently warm, professional, and attentive, and you have a dining experience that’s truly special. If you find yourself in Manchester, do yourself a favor: make a reservation. This is a restaurant that deserves to be on your must-visit list.

    We hadn’t been here for quite a while, and were very disappointed both with the prices (much too high) and the relatively limited menu selection. It seems they are trying to be a high end restaurant, based on prices, but miss the mark. Sadly, there are several other restaurants in the area that offer much better value for excellent food and at more reasonable prices. Service was very attentive and friendly, so no complaints there.
    Copper Grouse - Taconic HotelResponded on July 7, 2025
    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your recent experience at Copper Grouse didn't meet your expectations. We understand your concerns about our menu and pricing. We strive to offer an exceptional dining experience and it seems we fell short during your visit. We're glad to hear that you found our service attentive and friendly. We appreciate your feedback and we will definitely take it into consideration for future improvements. We hope you'll give us another chance to impress you.

    Nice restaurant at the Kimpton Taconic. A little pricey for what you get, but no need to leave the hotel.
